Tekneek is correct, the router will see/pickup and arbitrarily assign an address to the Roku in DHCP but you can change that to another. more convenient/friendly name or address The wiki has specific addressing requirements if you have many devices through OpenVPN tunnels; above a certain range can confuse OpenVPN; the wiki says it best. Roku unfortunately allows no adjustments internally; sadly they're a closed system; a shame but Roku/Netflix doesn't want anyone tweaking; thank goodness for the router capabilities. Whether you have any DNS listed on the router, if the Roku routes to a streaming IP, after all of that the Roku will still find and mate up with whatever Roku/Netflix has programmed into it, automatically. If that's what you mean hope that's helpful. G'day and good luck.
